happenins...

Brooke and I took our 6 kids to Rosa's and we all survived.

 Daddy went hunting with Uncle Mike and Papa Mike for 4 days. 4 days! Whew! So happy Daddy could have his man time but we were READY for him to come home! He only does this once a year and he DESERVES it! It reminded me of last spring when he was gone every week to Odessa and we were back home, and I do not know how we did that! Never again, I hope! We tried to stay busy.

Chick-fil-a, of course was a good place for dinner.

 Some static hair!

 Boone is becoming quite the "liner upper."

 Thankful he was trying to help me clean, just a little mixed up with his cleaning tools.

 Movie Night with the Minions and pizza.

 The littlest crazy kid still won't watch tv and moves from place to place around the living room.

 kindergarten is exhausting!

 donuts on Saturday morning. 

 Stopped at Burger King play area. We didn't last long. 

 Finally, the weather was warm enough to go to the park. 

Sweet thing bringing me flowers.

 This was Graham's reaction when I told him we were having Movie Night again! :)

 And that we did!

We've been singing along to the "Frozen" music for a few weeks! Boone wanted a cape, too.

More "Frozen" sing along! They were belting out some "Let It Go" when Graham asked Anna, "What are we letting go of?"

I took the boys to the story time at the library. Boone really wanted in that chair.

 We went to an open gym at a gymnastics place and the boys loved it.

 Yay for 70 degree temps!

 We had a Mexican food take-out and S'mores by the fire.

 Thankful she loves to play with him.

And a day after the 70 degree temps, the snow came! It looked like a blizzard driving to church. It wasn't sticking much to the road since it had been so warm the day before. 

 You can't tell from the pic, but it was pouring snow.

 When we got home, we bundled up and headed out for 20 minutes of freezing cold fun.

Those are some happenins lately in the Hall house.

Honey and Papa visit, the banquet and randoms...

We were all so excited for Honey and Papa to come visit! They delivered our Christmas gifts that wouldn't fit on the airplane, and they were going to keep the kids while we went to the Permian Football Banquet. 

Honey treated the ladies to manis and pedis.

The hand and the chair are both a little creepy.

Honey brought the stuff to make gingerbread cookies.

These next few are out of order. I am pretty sure I didn't do this in kindergarten. Thankful for a wonderful teacher!

The lame-o play area at the mall.

Watching Frozen on the computer. Boone didn't really watch, just bugged the bigs.

Dickey's bbq and some dessert.

Daddy and Papa had to put the goal back together which was quite a chore.

Saturday night we headed off to the football banquet, which is quite the event for the Panthers!!

The Panther Booster Club does it up FAN-CY!! Oh my! The seniors wear tuxes, the girls were full on prom dresses, they spend bookoos and it is THE EVENT of the year for PHS! Who knew?!! 

Dallas Cowboy, Roy Williams, who also was a Permain Panther, was the speaker. This was my sneaky pic from the table. We sat on the stage under some big lights, so I had to be discreet. 

Each varsity player is announced along with their date. They walked down this long carpet while their stats are read. It really was pretty cool and SUCH a big deal. It's one of the many things that has never changed at Permian. Tradition runs deep here!

This is where the varsity players were announced. Dave had to help the dates walk down the stairs and not trip on their dresses. I giggled each time.

How about a panther ice sculpture?!

It really was a fun night and obviously a big night for the Panthers. Thankful that Honey and Papa were here to keep the kids! So thankful they made the long drive to bring all of our Christmas loot. Unfortunately, our weekend with Honey and Papa was cut short when Papa started feeling bad. They had to head home a day early. :( boo! 

Randoms, the Rodeo and a Tea Party...

We celebrated back to school with some yogurt.

 We've spent lots of time at the park.

 We went to the Odessa Rodeo with our friends, the Schlaffers. Anna and Graham think the world of Thayne.

 The boys loved it!

 G loved the snacks too.

 It got a little late, but she loved it too.

 This guy was funny and a little bit strange!

 Our church had a tea party for little girls and their daddies.  Anna chose to wear her boots! West Texas is gettin' to her:)!

 She came home with all sorts of goodies and talked and talked about it!

 He was putting away a tortilla at Rosa's. We all like to do that.
